How do I repair drafty doors?

I get drafts by my front door and patio sliding doors. Can you tell me how to make the door “snakes” to prevent this? I’m not great at sewing so looking for other options. Polar Vortex is giving me the chills! I’m also open to advice on the very best weather stripping to use! Thank you!

You could take an old pair of leggings and cut off one of the legs. See or glue shut one end, stuff the leg and than close off the other end. Minimal sewing needed.
